There is a mischief-making attempt on the Justice Forum to suggest that the McCanns have failed to show their appreciation for the efforts made by Operation Grange in the search for Madeleine, the implication being that they (the McCanns) are not happy with the direction the investigation has taken. Perhaps it could be pointed out to the mischief makers that only a few months ago this statement appeared on the Official Find Madeleine page:

"Kate and Gerry are extremely thankful to the Metropolitan Police for requesting extra funding.

They are very encouraged there remains work to be done that requires them seeking an extra budget. They are hoping naturally, it will be granted.

They are grateful to all those officers who are still working on the case and are actively looking for Madeleine.

They appreciate everything the police have done and are doing to get a resolution after all this time.
